When al-ʿĀdil passed away and his son al-Muʿaẓẓam restored the public use of wine, Shaykh Fakhr al-Dīn denounced him. Al-Muʿaẓẓam therefore bore him a grudge and stripped him of the professorship of the Ṣalāḥiyyah in Jerusalem and of the Taqwiyyah chair, leaving him only the Jarūkhiyyah, the Nūrī Dār al-Ḥadīth, and the shrine of Ibn ʿUrwah⦗1⦘.
He died on a Wednesday, after the ʿAṣr prayer, on the tenth of Rajab of this year, at the age of sixty-five. The funeral prayer was held for him in the congregational mosque, and the day was one of public mourning. His bier was then carried to the Ṣūfīs’ cemetery, where he was buried at its entrance near the grave of his teacher Quṭb al-Dīn Masʿūd.
Ibn ʿUrwah: he is Sharaf al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn ʿUrwah al-Muṣilī⦗2⦘, to whom the Shrine of Ibn ʿUrwah—people simply call it the Shrine of ʿUrwah—in the Umayyad Mosque is attributed, for he was the first to open it. It had been packed with university store-rooms⦗3⦘; he built the pool there, dedicated it to hadith lessons, and endowed libraries within it⦗4⦘. He had been residing in the Holy City of Jerusalem, yet he was among the intimate companions of King al-Muʿaẓẓam. When the wall of Jerusalem was demolished he moved to Damascus, where he stayed until his death. His grave lies beside the domes of Atabeg Ṭughtakīn, to the south of the Musallā. May Allah have mercy on him.

Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Yamanī⦗7⦘, who lived by the Sharafiyyah Minaret, was righteous, ascetic, and ever-scrupulous, a man of noble character⦗8⦘. He was buried in the Ṣūfīs’ cemetery.
The notable ʿIzz al-Dīn al-Muẓaffar ibn Asʿad⦗9⦘ ibn Ḥamzah al-Tamīmī, known as Ibn al-Qalānisī, was one of the leading dignitaries of Damascus. His grandfather, Abū Yaʿlā Ḥamzah, composed a chronicle that serves as a continuation of Ibn ʿAsākir’s, and he had heard
